"Crowning a scenic high-country knoll a half-hour north of San Jose near Santa Barbara de Heredia, this fanciful cloister commands a mountain-backed tableau of undulating green fields, orchards and coffee plantations.

Here, artistic owner-hosts Glenn and Teri Jampol make you feel like a special guest in a winsome private home.”
Andrew Harper's Hideaway Report

ABOUT FINA ROSA BLANCA - in their own words:
Finca Rosa Blanca Country Inn is situated above the beautiful Central Valley of Costa Rica. Surrounded by towering “Higuerón” trees and exotic flora, the Inn offers spectacular views of volcanoes, cloud forests and coffee plantations. Here at 4000 feet above sea level on a temperate plateau of extraordinary beauty, is grown some of the world’s best coffee in the lush volcanic soil. Nestled in 10 acres amid hundreds of fruit trees and dramatic tropical flora is the enchanted Finca Rosa Blanca Country Inn, a jewel crowning a picturesque knoll.

The Inn offers the extraordinary Master suite, three elegant yet whimsical junior suites, two spacious villas, and three uniquely appointed double rooms, each with its own private veranda.

COMMON AREAS: The lovely lounge and dining area of the main building is situated in a sunlit clearstory room filled with flowers and art. Here the guest can relax in front of a crackling fire in the evenings or browse through the library famous for its collection of art, nature and history books.

DINING: Each sunny morning you will wake to an exquisite breakfast, replete with freshly brewed organic coffee grown in our plantation and succulent mango, papaya, pineapple and bananas from the Inn’s own organic orchards. The Inn is renowned for its fine cuisine, prepared with care and creativity from the bounty of its fruit orchards and organic greenhouse vegetable and herb garden. Chef Pedro Alas welcomes the curious gourmand into his kitchen to share the secrets and techniques of nouvelle Costa Rican Cuisine. The Chef draws on Costa Rican and international culinary arts, using local fresh seafood and organic meats and poultry to create a menu that changes daily. The elegant four-course dinners, offered to our guests exclusively, are set around the inviting, intimate free-form fireplace with inspiring views of the Central Valley below.

POOL & GARDENS: The extraordinary hillside infinity swimming pool provides luxuriant bathing and is surrounded by tropical gardens, secluded decks and shaded verandas where guests can sunbathe and enjoy the magnificent vistas.

The spring fed pool features chemical free water and a 12-foot cascading waterfall. The adjacent open-air game room / lounge, large Hot-tub/Jacuzzi and the library offer recreation and relaxation

Finca Rosa Blanca’s landscaping is an intrinsic part of the unique architectural experience. The inn has over 300 fruit trees, including Orange, Lemon, Tangerine, Grapefruit, “Caimito”, Avocado, Macadamia, “Jogote”, Lychee, “Cas”, “Guanabana”, Guava, Cashew and many others.

Thousands of native and tropical plants have been cultivated on the 8 acres of the lush volcanic terrain. Many species of rare and colorful birds and butterflies are attracted to these extraordinary gardens. The 300 year old “Higueron” trees and the other numerous and statuesque hardwoods, tower above the lush and colorful painted landscape that offer trails and meditative areas in which the guest can truly feel “at one with nature”.
